What is men's Liberation to you? [View all]

Men's liberation to me, means being liberated not just from the "patriarchal standards" as men we're expected to live up to... but from women as well, who hold up those same, restraining standards.

It means that I can be as gay and flaming as i want (Im not) without being judged harshly by women or men.
It means I can love my partner, man or woman, without chains.
It means that I can expect the same level of respect from women as I give.

It means that everyone is treated based on WHO they are, not WHAT they are.

What does men's lib mean to you?
